Bug#697331: installation-reports: Printer not working / recognised - Fixed
The user was not in lpadmin group (checked with "id").
This caused problem to use the CUPS configuration menu (localhost:631).
Added the user in lpadmin (under root) :
> usermod -a -G lpadmin user1
Plugged in printer/scan.
Started a web browser, url "localhost:631" (the CUPS interface)
Select the "admin" tab; "add printer"; ... (almost all fields already filled in)
Printing ok (from mousepad editor & libre office document)
